Jeremy Lamb Scores 12 Points In Loss

Charlotte Hornets guard Jeremy Lamb scored 12 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Saturday's loss to the 76ers. Lamb added three rebounds and an assist as well.

Nicolas Batum Held To Two Points

Charlotte Hornets small forward Nicolas Batum scored just two points on 1-for-5 shooting in Saturday's loss to the 76ers. While he grabbed 10 rebounds and added four assists and a pair of blocks, Batum has now had three games this season where he shot 25 percent of worse from the field. With a good defensive […]

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 37 points in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, shooting 11-for-31 from the field and making three of his 15 attempts from deep.

In this article, I will be providing you […]

Week 8 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Another week of NFL action is upon us! Week 8 is notable because it's the last week before the NFL's trade deadline, so you want to win just in case things end up changing around the league and put up in a bad position for Week 9, as new players start to acclimate to their […]

Fantasy Deep Dive Week 2: Nikola Vucevic

It wasn't supposed to be this way. The Magic have been a fairly competitive 2-3 team and center Nikola Vucevic, who we assumed as just keeping the seat warm for Mohamed Bamba, has been on fire as of late. There's Nikola revolution in the NBA right now as Nikola Jokic and Nikola Mirotic play stellar […]

The Tape Tells All - Kerryon Johnson's Week 7 Performance

The Detroit Lions aren't known for their prowess as a running team. Since Barry Sanders retired, here are the players who have led the team in rushing yards in a season: Greg Hill, James Stewart, Shawn Bryson, Kevin Jones, Kevin Smith, Jahvid Best, Mikel Leshoure, Reggie Bush, Joique Bell, Ameer Abdullah, and Theo Riddick. Their […]

E'Twaun Moore Effective Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans forward E'Twaun Moore scored 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting in Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Moore faces a difficult matchup Saturday, though, against a Jazz team that's allowing the 11th-lowest three-point field goal […]

Jrue Holiday Scores 26 Points Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday shouldered much of his team's scoring load in Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 26 points on 9-for-19 shooting while dishing out five assists, grabbing three rebounds, and adding a steal and a block.

Anthony Davis Has Double-Double Against Nets

It wasn't the biggest scoring output of the year for New Orleans Pelicans power forward/ center Anthony Davis when the Pelicans took on Brooklyn Friday, as Davis finished with 18 points on 6-for-19 shooting, but Davis grabbed a team-high 14 rebounds to go along with four steals, five blocks and three assists in the victory. […]

Shabazz Napier Scores 16 Points Off Bench

Brooklyn Nets point guard Shabazz Napier is already turning into a strong scoring option off the Brooklyn bench. On Friday against the Pelicans, Napier scored 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting and added a pair of rebounds, an assist, and a steal. He could be worth a look by fantasy owners needing production in points and […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Held To Four Points

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has now played two games since returning from a groin injury and while he hasn't put up huge scoring numbers, his presence has helped the Nets out. Still, a four-point, 2-for-7-shooting line isn't something fantasy owners want to see, though it did come with six rebounds, a block, and a […]

Jarrett Allen Held To Seven Points

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored seven points on 3-for-6 shooting in Friday's loss to the Pelicans. He grabbed nine rebounds, passed for four assists, and added a pair of steals and a pair of blocks.

Caris LeVert Scores 21 Points Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert continued to score a lot of points and use a lot of possessions in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, scoring 21 points on 8-for-23 shooting and posting the team's highest usage rate. LeVert was just 1-for-6 from deep in this one while adding in six rebounds and four assists. The […]

Donte Moncrief Has Upside In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief has received double-digit targets in two of the past three games, giving him some of the best upside on the team heading into Sunday's meeting with the Eagles in London. Philadelphia has allowed the fourth-most points to fantasy wide receivers, and Moncrief's target share makes him a prime candidate […]

T.J. Yeldon Has PPR Upside Against Eagles

Despite the acquisition of running back Carlos Hyde, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon should remain a solid play in PPR leagues in Week 8 against the Eagles thanks to his usage in the receiving game, something Hyde is unlikely to help in. It's possible that Yeldon's reduced role winds up so reduced that he […]

Carlos Hyde's Role Unclear Heading Into Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde was acquired via trade last week and is expected to suit up for his first game as a Jaguar on Sunday when the team plays Philadelphia in London, but it'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups at this point. T.J. Yeldon should remain an active part of […]

Blake Bortles A Risky Play In Week 8

Last Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars showed that they weren't afraid to make a mid-game change at the quarterback position, benching starter Blake Bortles for Cody Kessler after Bortles struggled against the Texans. That leaves Bortles fantasy owners in a precarious position this week, as the Jaguars travel to London to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. […]

Jordan Thomas Catches Two Touchdowns

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas caught his first career touchdown pass in Thursday's win over the Miami Dolphins, and then he caught his second career touchdown pass.

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had just eight yards on two catches at halftime of Thursday's win over the Miami Dolphins, but by the end of the night he'd turned in another stellar performance, catching six passes for 82 yards and a pair of touchdowns. With fellow wide receiver Will Fuller suffering a knee […]

Will Fuller Leaves Game With Knee Injury

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller exited Thursday's win over the Miami Dolphins in the fourth quarter after sustaining a knee injury and did not return. Fuller was having a great game prior to the injury, catching five passes for 124 yards and a touchdown, but now all eyes turn to his injury status. Fuller […]

Lamar Miller Has Another Strong Performance

After a lackluster start to his season, Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller had his second consecutive 100-plus yard game in Thursday's Week 8 victory over the Dolphins. Miller carried the ball 18 times for 133 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the season. Miller's strong stretch couldn't come at a better time, as […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Five Touchdowns Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw five touchdown passes in Thursday's victory over the Miami Dolphins. Watson was 16-for-20 through the air, finishing with 239 yards and no turnovers.

Brook Lopez Scores 21 Points Against 76ers

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez scored 21 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Wednesday's victory over Philadelphia. He made five shots from behind the three-point line and added in a rebound and an assist.

Khris Middleton Effective Against Philadelphia

Giannis Antetokounmpo Records Triple-Double Against 76ers

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a team-high 32 points on 12-for-24 scoring in Wednesday's win over the Sixers. He also added 18 rebounds and 10 assists for Milwaukee, along with a pair of steals and three blocks as Philadelphia had no answers for the Greek Freak. The Bucks visit Minnesota on Friday, who sit […]

Dario Saric Scores 15 Points Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric scored 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee. He added seven rebounds as well, but put up nothing in terms of assists, steals, and blocks. Saric's production has been uneven and frustrating so far, and a meeting with a decent Hornets defense on Saturday does little to […]

Ben Simmons Gets Triple-Double Against Milwaukee

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons recorded his second triple-double of the young NBA season in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons scored 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting and added 13 rebounds and 11 assists. After missing Tuesday's contest with a back injury, Simmons should he was healthy and ready to go. He should […]
